Bulk bins

Bulk bins

Bulk bins are a way of selling consumables by weight. The product is stored in bins in a section of the retail floor. A customer can measure out an amount of product into a plastic bag, to be later weighed at the point of sale. The product is usually less expensive per unit compared to pre-packaged items. The customer is able to choose exactly how much product they want and will go home with less packaging.

Products compatible with bulk bin selling are:
*Grains
*Spices
*Candy
*Coffee
*Powdered or granulated items

Perishable or bulky items usually are not sold in this way.
